Laughing when your tired



One day in the middle of summer, me, my sister, and my mom where playing cards at about two in the morning. All of us where really tired and we were about to go to bed when I said “I want some milk". My mom and my sister exploded with laughter and they could just not stop. After a few seconds I started laughing because they were laughing and I fell on the floor, tears started flowing down my face and my abs started to hurt. After a few minutes we calmed down a little bit and got back to our game. We played for a little bit longer, and I just started having a staring contest with my sister. Usually we don't laugh when we do a staring contest, but we just burst out laughing again, for minuets we were dying of laughter sitting at the table accidentally banging our heads on the table. My mom thought we were crazy because she was just sitting there wondering what the heck was happening. To this day every time where up really late we just laugh and laugh for no reason what so ever. Even in the middle of the day when we got no sleep we just spend the whole day laughing at random things, even in public. When that happens all the people in the vicinity just stop and stare at us. everything is funnier when you are tired.

Camping



One year my family and I went camping near Penticton, the camp site was high in the mountains covered in snow and surrounded by a lakes. When we got there the sun was shining and throughout the day the snow was melting around our feet. We got unpacked and went for a hike through the high mountains and dense forests, we saw a lot of animals like deer and birds. It was silent, there was no urban noise only the noise of nature echoing through the mountains. After the second night we ran out of firewood so my mom gave my sister and me a task of going and getting some firewood, we went out into the dense forest and walked for a few minutes to find a good group of trees. After a while we found a good spot to start chopping wood, so we got to work. After a while we got a good pile of firewood and where ready to go back to our camp, but we only believe in only taking one trip. So we walk back to camp and grab some rope and a wagon out from under our trailer. Once we get back to our pile of wood we load the logs into the wagon, then we tie the rope to the stumps and drag them behind the wagon. After a tedious walk through the woods we get back to our camp with all the wood, that night we had hot dogs and smores over the fire, we played cards like crib and Uno. The next morning we played recreational games all day. We played horseshoes, volleyball and badminton with the neighbours. That was my first time ever camping with my family and it was one of the most fun experience of my life!
